Hi! can somebody help me with buddypress. I installed the wordpress stufe theme and I think there is a conflict with the buddypress javascript. The order by feature which is powered by ajax is not working in my member page and activity page.
Response is highly appreciated. Thanks
what is line 10 of bp-custom.php?
What theme are you using?
If you also want to allow non logged in visitors to view the members page (If that is what you meant) try replacing:
`
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )
`
with
`
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) )
`
“you have WP_LANG set correctly…” — I don’t know to be honest…i’ve only ever need to translate bp…
define( ‘WPLANG’, ” ); — I saw this was already set in my config file. So I’ve even tried just using it by telling it this: define(‘WPLANG’, ‘en_US’);
Yes that’s the snippet from the tuutorial, which by the way, step 3 can be a little confusing the way it’s worded, “skip this not that” hence me using the snippet to try to make it work. but I’ve even tried without the snippet…still.
And you’ve got the WP_LANG set correctly, and are also loading a translation for WordPress itself? Is that code snippet in your first post how you’re actually trying this? Which file did you add that to? I don’t think that should be necessary 
@djpaul yea I’m pretty sure, since at first I did realize it was still the old language file from pre-1.5, so I downloaded the new .pot and worked with it.
Since I was workign with a custom theme, I’ve even tried it with a child theme of Bp-default and still the same problem.
I am not able to implement this either using directions from the same link above. I followed directions exactly, but no labels change. I used the following command using ssh to generate the .mo file: msgfmt -o [filename].mo [filename].po
File name gets generated, but again, no labels change. Am I supposed to be ‘refreshing’ something? Thanks for the help.
Yes to both. Are you able to deactivate template pack, switch to BuddyPress default theme, and see if they reappear?
Hmm. Are you 100% sure the original .pot was up to date? Have you tested?
Are you generating these locally or on Automattic’s glotpress website? (can’t remember URL right now)
You’re missing some styles in your theme’s stylesheet (which others I helped had) for some reason or another. For example:
`.blogstyle-entries, #left-area {
float: left;
width: 71%;
}
#left-area {
margin-left: -3%;
}
`
I checked the entry.php file in the theme/activity folder but I was unable to find an explanation to insert xprofile fields. Any hints?
I’m now seeing that it’s only some translations that don’t take….for example.
%s became a registered member
Posted an update
In poedit, i don’t know if this matters, but on the text that doesn’t work I get back an error under Show References where the text that does work shows where the text is referenced — so that’s that.
btw i’m using a child theme with bp template pack
Right now I’m writing it into the plugin file.
I’m building on top of the Salutation BP theme from themeforest:
The theme uses create_page_layout() to generate layouts as design-{name}.php
When I check for is_front_page() in design.php (the layout that is being called by index.php) it runs the code.
Fixed it by using a display none on the home-page body class. Not elegant but it works.
Thanks for your help!
thanks mercime – I do not see the Load More on the default theme 1.5.1 . And, yes it worked before.
Hi there. Was it working for you before you upgraded to BP 1.5.1 or is this a new install? Have you checked out if same behavior applies using bp-default theme?
@mariuse do wait for 24 hours before bumping your post. There are time differences between where you’re at and volunteers who are based all over the world.
Open up your WP theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php in your theme folder. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very bottom:
`
`
Save and upload to your theme folder in server.
Open up your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php. Open up sidebar-buddypress.php, delete everything in it and paste the following:
`
`
Save and upload to your theme folder in server.
Make sure that you keep the CSS and javascript enabled i.e. like this https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/2011-09.gif Click on Save Settings button
I want to point out that BuddyPress works out of the box but if you start changing things and adding plugins this has nothing to do with the core development team. So to blame them that your custom install doesn’t work is not fair. Everyone on this support forum offering help is on a volunteer basis and as they say, “you get what you pay for”. 
As for this site, I’d rather the default theme be activated and the live updating that’s been going on for over 2 months stop. I can’t find my topics to help with support. Pretty much gave up on anything that isn’t on the first page.
@karmatosed. The issue is that I am not using a buddypress theme. I used the BP template manager plugin. So I don’t know how I would implement your suggestion.
Thanks for the replies. I think I’m creating a problem for myself bigger than trying to keep up to date with all the upgrades… problem is trying to upgrade older version of buddypress to new version with some plugins now defunct, so quite a change to the site. Having the ability to run a beta site in parallel tapping into the existing data for the network, groups and forums would allow for development to the point of going live and providing some members to test out with their posts being kept, rather than a complete swap out, with always too little testing.
That was a terrible experience, but at least I know BP much better now. It was a combination of issues – ajax.php silently failed to load with the theme files on the production server, despite being identical to the theme files on staging (I still can’t explain that), and there was the just recently patched BP core bug with the red “You do not have access to this group” error.
Resolved
something like this (add to your theme functions php file)
function etivite_remove_group_invites_step() {
global $bp;
// If we're not at domain.org/groups/create/ then return false
if ( !bp_is_groups_component() || !bp_is_current_action( 'create' ) )
return false;
unset( $bp->groups->group_creation_steps );
}
add_action( 'bp_groups_setup_nav', 'etivite_remove_group_invites_step', 9999 );
I can’t duplicate this.
To test, I’m using the BuddyPress Default theme.
I navigated to my WP profile and changed my nickname to “New Name”. Then attempted to change my avatar and was able to.
It could be a theme issue as well. What happens if you switch the theme to BuddyPress Default? Does the crop box work properly? If so, check the CSS in your custom theme to see if you’re modifying the crop box.
Check your WP theme for a folder called “registration” and a file called “register.php” inside this folder.
If you don’t have this folder and file, copy it over from /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/. See if that fixes your problems.
If you have the register.php template, open it up and customize the layout; you’ll need a tiny bit of experience with HTML and CSS to do this.
